Hey, I could really use some advice because I’m starting to feel stuck.
I’m 24, from Chile. I study during the week and work weekends in retail. I do have some free time in the afternoons, but it doesn’t really fit with taking on another fixed-schedule job, so I’m kind of stuck in that in-between situation.
I’ve tried selling things on Marketplace and I keep posting, but it’s not consistent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just doesn’t, and it gets pretty discouraging.
Even though my pay isn’t bad for a part-time job, between tuition and basic living expenses I’m not able to save anything. The little savings I had are gone because of school, and that honestly frustrates me. I don’t want to wait until I graduate to start getting ahead financially.
So I’m trying to figure out how to make better use of the time I do have, even if it doesn’t fit a typical job.
I’m not interested in things like OnlyFans (I know that’s a common suggestion for online money), but I’d really like to find something more realistic.
